Reynaers Aluminium UK has reported a notable uplift in sales of its residential aluminium windows in the past 12 months as homeowners look to align windows with slimline aluminium doors in refurb projects.
With Reynaers’ high performance SlimLine 68 (SL 68) seeing a 12 per cent increase in sales and SlimLine 38 (SL 38) achieving almost a 40 per cent lift, the company believes this has been driven by a trend in homeowners looking to upgrade to a slimline architectural look, to replace previously pvc-window frames, that in most cases have a much heavier, bulkier sightline.
Available in a range of contemporary or heritage finishes, SL 68 and SL 38 window systems are ideal for a wide range of refurbishment projects and upgrades.
Terry Ledwith, Head of Sales – Trade and Retail at Reynaers Aluminium UK, said: “Our range of SL68 and SL38 aluminium windows has seen exceptionally strong growth, particularly given tough market conditions.
“In the face of the cost-of-living crisis and rising inflationary pressures, homeowners are keen on improving the appearance of their homes. This is a continuation of a trend that started during Covid when we saw a rise in homeowners opening up their homes to the outside using large scale, slim sightline doors.
“The quality of these windows – and the slimline aesthetic they deliver – make them an ideal choice to echo that stylish finish across the rest of the property. This is something we are seeing more and more frequently as people choose to make changes that they know will last the test of time and enhance the finish of their home.”
Designed to fit into a standard 68mm window frame, Reynaers’ SL 68 is a high-performance aluminium casement window that boasts industry-leading thermal insulation and can achieve a U-value as low as 1.1 W/m2K.
Both SL 38 and SL 68 are available in double and triple glazing options up to 43mm thick, which makes them future ready in terms of accommodating high standards in thermally-efficient triple glazing.
Awarded Secured by Design accreditation, both windows systems reach the PAS24 security standard, to demonstrate resilience to break-in attempts.
